Golf Betting Lines
08/09/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Hunter Mahan's victory Sunday at the WGC- Bridgestone Invitational moved the American to 12th in this week's world golf rankings.
Mahan moved up 19 spots this week after his biggest professional win.
Tiger Woods survived as the No. 1 player in the world despite his worst professional tournament. Woods tied for 78th in an 80-man field and finished at 18-over par, which was his highest score in relation to par since losing his amateur status in 1996.
Phil Mickelson had a chance to become No. 1 if he finished fourth or better on Sunday, but that didn't happen. Mickelson, who began Sunday in a tie for 10th, shot a 78 and stayed at No. 2.
Lee Westwood withdrew from the Bridgestone and announced he won't play this week at the PGA Championship. He remained in third, followed by Steve Stricker, Jim Furyk, Ernie Els, Luke Donald, Rory McIlroy, Paul Casey and Ian Poulter.
U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell kept his 11th place, followed by Mahan. Martin Kaymer remained in 13th, while Anthony Kim, who returned to action after a thumb injury last week, sank two to 14th. Retief Goosen jumped two to 15th.
Padraig Harrington fell one to No. 16, but Robert Allenby, who will miss the PGA Championship after slipping on his boat and injuring his knee, dropped three to 17th.
British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen slid two to 18th, while Sean O'Hair joined the top 20 after a fifth at Firestone. Justin Rose completed the top 20.
Ryan Palmer, who finished second to Mahan, shot up 86 places this week to 63rd.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009
Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.
MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.
Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.
Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.
After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.
Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.
Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.
If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.
Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
